Miles said, afterward, "My respects of Aboixt was that as he wouldn't stand up to his brother, it wouldn't look right to be agile him." When the battalion was dismissed, Allen walked rapidly to Mr. Bill. The latter was wiping the tears from his eyes with lus handkerchief. Having finished this operation, he went with a resolute step toward Bland's iiaena, whither Colonel Grice, after -distil Mint- ing and giving his horse to a eery nt to hold, hed repaired. "Ah, Mr. Bland," said the about to light a cigar, "you p men, you who follow in the pe way--clepaitments, I might rat of dry goods, and hardwar, and es, and blankets, ancl trace ehai other Bich departments, so as all o' the warions warieties of a keeper's business -you don't k ow -I mary say you don't dream -Mr. t land, of the responsuability of a eilitary man whose country's enemies ti ay be at the very gates-" "Colonel Grice 1" said Mr. Bit Will- iams, in a tone nobody had. ever heard from him before. The colonel anted to see whe called, Ittr. Bill was tend- ing on the ground, Allen Thigpe and Miles Bunkly by his side. "Hello ! Bill!" said the colon° , with careless cordiality. "What'll yo have, my dear fellow ?" "PH have satisfaction, Mose Grice. I'm not a fightin' man, and I k ow I have sometimes been keerless n my talk, yit I -never went to hurt p ople's feelings a -purpose, and I alway helt myself more of a gentleman tha to in- sult women and little ehildre , and which you can't say for yourself with- out tellint of a lie, and a fightin' ie at that." Those words operated the g eatest surprise that ever befell Colonel osse Grice. Partly in astonishment, artly in -wrath, and partly in depreoati n, he exclaimed.: "What in this, wide omnipotent orld! Is the Colonel of the Fourteenth Regi- ment got to study his langwidges " "Come. Mose Grice," said Miles slow- ly, but distinctly, "the muster's over now, and. William Williams is your ekal, and he is liable to have his satis- faction, oiliest you apologizes for your langwidges." "I don't want his apologies," sa d. Mr. Bill. "I won't have his, apologies He's got to fight, 'ithout he gits on his horse and runs away." "I can't stand that," ttaid the o lonel. Throwing off his coat, he came r pidly down the steps to where Mr, Bill, eim- iliarly stripped, awaited him. olonel, aceful ceable er say olass- s, and o call ate - 18 V.

The advantages on this occ sion, - except the right, were with the colonel. Taller by an inch, though pethap: not heavier, agr.e, practited, aud h the full maturity of his physical pow re, he had, besides, a contempt for his dyer- sarytand expected to prevail sp. dily. Mr. Bill himself rather counted upon this result; but he had made u his anind that such was preferable to what he would endure without an atte es pt to punish this persistent insulting ra llery. He had never been a participant in a fight of any sort; but he had 1 bored habitually at the heaviest work upon his farm, and he had broken, tin ssist- ed, many a colt, horse and, mule, f his famous Molly Sparks -the roost ililul and indocile of dares- He had no the special disadvantage of having be n up- on his feet during several hours o tire- some exercises. "He'll try to ride you, Bill," said Al- len, hastily, "but yeti keep him o. He can can fling you, I expect; but yo outlast him in licks. Don't let hi you.,, As the colonel advanced, Mr. B But, alas 1 I am not an epic bar even a Pindaric, nor is there one I can command to dub celebrat combat.

For a first fight and that with an experienced, ante onist, Mr. Bill conducted himself with sur- prising dexterity in the giving and eva- sion ef blows, and when evasio was not successful, with becoming fort tude. It was, however, a tiresome bu nese.

"Bill," said Allen, "Miles saes, hold on as long as you can. If you g t too badly used up, he'll help you tak care o' Rom and Reme." Then Bill Williams was worth s eing, though prostrate on the field. 1 hese words fell upon his ear with a fore irre- sistible. But for Mr. Bowden's neer- titude as to the impersonation of those combatants of the heroic age, he •'gilt have conapared these words of Mi es to those of Pallas, when "Raged Tydides, boundless in his ire: ‘Pallea. eorrorta.nds, and Pallas lends thee froe.'" As it was, Bill pronounced the t a,mes "Rora" and "Berne" once, and th..n he gave a groan that sounded less a groan than a. roar. And then, in spite f the superincumbent weight, he slit denly reaohed hi arm aronnd the co onel's neok, and drew his head. to the grbund. It was said of Miles Bunkly ti peo- ple of veracity, and those wh had • rL known him longest and most intimate= ly, that this was the only occasion dur- ing life whereon he was known to have shouted. Then, with the mildness yet the solemnity of an experieuced good man whosedadmonitions thereto have gone unheeded, he remarked to the colonel, as the latter'Wily Wag slowly but -inevitably following his Bead be- neath Mr. Bill, like the stag in the ana- conda's month, "Yon see how it is, Mose; I told you,.if you didn't mind, you'd ketch the mollonoholy yourself some day " 1 The colonel, apparently concludipg that the time had come, said, as ; dis- tinotly as he could, "Stop it, Bill; I give it up " II . "Lethim up, Bill," said Allen; "you got his.word.' , "No, sir, not till he's apologized. He's jest acknoWledged Ineself whipp1 d ; he hain't apo ogized." "I'rnso4ry, Bill, for havin' neted your fedi 'a and your wife's," said the colonel. "So fur so good," answered Mr. Bill, leisurely stretching himself at ease on his foe, as if he would repose after hie. fatigne-" o fur so good; but what about Ro 11erlue Williams and Romer- lus Willis es ?" He never called the fall name of his boys except on im- pressive o oasions. I "Come, It ill," said Allen, taking him by the ar si ,-"enough's enough." Mr. Bill rose with the reluctant air of a man ro sed from a luxurious conch whereon le had been indulgipg, though not to the full, in sweet sleep and sweeter d earn& The colonel arose, and, unptied of all, slunk limping away. M les Bunkly, with tears in his eyes, laid his hands on Mr. Bill's shoulders, and said: "I kno ed it were obleeged to be .in you, Willi na ef it could be fetch out; and my r pects of a certain person wad that, that 1 knowed she'd fetch -it out in time. t's done fetch out, and from this time f rrards you and yourn may go 'long yo r gayly way down the hill o' life, an all I got to say to you and them, Wil iam, is, Go n'! And now go wash your face and hands, and go 'long home to h ppiness and bliss. I. don't say you ne er deserved 'em before, but I do say y a deserve 'em now:" VI. "My !" s id Mr. Bill, when he had washe'd, a d was feeling the knots mad bruises on is face, and trying to open his eyes -"my ! but ain't it tiresome? I ruther maul rails all day 'ithout my dinner, or break two o' old Molly's colts, mules at that, than to have to go through sich as that agin. Thenkye Miles, andeome and see a fellow." He bade all adieu, and went on home, where something in the bosom of his family awaited him that is worth re- lating. The news having preceded him, his wife, a pious 'woman, was a little troubled in her mind at first for haying given to her husband the spur to a feel- ing that was not entirely consistent With duty; yet when they had told her the whole story, she rose, laid aside her work, went to her chest, got out her' very best frock, and every thread of her children's Sunday clothes, including many ft, ribbon that had survived its ancient use, and arrayed herself and them to greet the hero upon his return. The whicker of old Molly at the foot of the lane, and the answer of the colt in the lot, announced the joyous moment. Dismounting at his gate, Mr. Bit! would fain have indulged his eyes with that goodly sight ; but one of thern was en- tirely and the other parttally closed.. He became aware of the rushing into his arms of a person of about the size of his wife, and justly guessed to be her, and the cries of two children which he rather thought were familiar to his ears. For the boys, When they saw their father all battered and bruised, set up a yelling, and retreated. "Yon Rom! you Reme !" cried the indignant mother, laughing the while, "if you don't stop that crying and mak- ing out like you don't know your father, skin you both alive! Come back here, and if you as much as whimper, I'll pull off them ribbons, strip you to your shirts, and put you to your bed without a mouthful for your supper!" They came -back,' did those boys. "Look at him, sirs. Don't tell me you don't know him. Who is it ?" "Peppy," said Rom, on a venture, fol- lowed by Rome. "And ain't he the grandest man that's a -living ?" "Eth'rn," said Rom. "Ethim," said Reme. "Now git behind than and le's all march in." "And we did march in," said Mr. Bill, afterward -"me, and Car'liue, and Rom, and Rome; and as we was a- marchin' alimg, I felt --blamed if I did- n't -like Bing William at the head of his armies." Miles Bunkly had become too fond of his "molloncholy" to let it depart en- tirely; but its severest pains subsided in spite of him, now that the rival who had been preferred to him had justified the preference. "My respects of William Williams," he would often say, "is that, that it ric- oncile me and do my molloncholy good that he's the husband and the protec- tor, as it were, of -well, ef 1 should name the narae, it would be Car'line Thigpen that were." For some weeks immediately follow- ing the day of the fight he had been ob- served, from time to time, in theeinter- vale of other business, engaged With a work seeming to require much pains- taking, the result of which will imme- diately appear. One morning Mr. Bill, standing in his door, called to his wife: "Come here, Cartline, quick Who and what can them be yonder a-comin' up to the gate? Somebody, 'pear like, a leadin' of a par o' dogs hitched to a little waggin." Mrs. Williams, looking intently at the corners, cried: "It's brothealeading of a par o' calves yoked to a little cart." She was right. "Good gracious, brother-" But Allen paid not the slightest at- tention to his sister, not even saying good-raorning. "Here, Rom; here, Reme" (his busi- ness being with them), "here's a pre- sent for you from Miles Bunkly; and he in particklar charge me to tell you, and which ef you. weren't old enough yit to have sense enough, ‘twouldn't be long before you would be to understan' sich langwidges, that his respects of your father was that, that he sent you the follerin' keart and steers, and which he made the keart with his own hands, the paintin' and all, and likewise broke the steers, and which they're jest six months old to -day, and which you moutn't believe it, but they are twin calves, them, steers is, of his old cow Speakle-face, and which he say is the best andlialliblest cow he ever posses- sioned, and which them was the very worde he said." Then -turning to his *ester and bro- ther-in-lativ, he said, " awnin,' sister Caeline ; awnin", BilI. Mr. Bill roared with itighter ; Mrs. Bil shed tears in silence, both in their abounding gratitude. ' "And tins at that 1" said Mr. Bill, "jets' like Rom and Rome !" An idea struck bini as with the Isuddenness of i inspiration. ' "Allen," he asked, vaguely, "does yon know the . names o' them steers?" "No, Bill; Miles didn t-" "Makes no odds ef he did. I names them steers'; and you sre they're ad- zactly alike, exceptin' that one in the lead got the roundeste-a . leetle the roundest -blaze fn the fitrrard." Going slowly to the latter, and laying his hand 'upon his head, Le said, "This here steer here is name Mierlus." Ttlen walking slowly down -gonad the cart and up to the latter, and laying his hand upon his head, saying, `•Thiehere steer here is name Bunkerlus." Then ,he took his boys; lifted them into the cart, contemplated all with, a satisfac- tion that had no bottom to i, then waved his hand in preparation fo a har- angue that few other things could have• prevented than that which inaniediate- ly transpired. Miles Bunkly himself appeared at the gate, arid walked in; his faze wreathed in mela.ncholyIsmiles. "Why, Miles, you blessed everlastin' old fellovel" exclaimed Mr. Bill. They were people too honest and plain to feel any embarrassment. The gen- erous•donor at once took the cart lines intolis hands, and led the procession several times about the yard and. the lot, RS innocent and in many respects as much a child as those otywhom he had bestowed his gift. The ardor of Mr- Bill could not be subdued as he looked upon the scene. , Tears like those in his wife's eyes earn° into his own, and he said softly, tio her and to Allen: . . "I never spected to live to see sich a skene and sich a ewent. Thar they goes, Romerlas Williams and Remedios Williams, and. Mierlus-ahem 1 -Will - tams, and Bunkerlus Williams, and. Miles Bankly hisself and the keart and alt; and I'll .challenge, I don t say this county, brit this whole State 'o Georgie,. to pejuce it skene and liejuce a ewent as lovely as the present 'skeet) a,nd the present evlent on this lqvely ntawnin', like. It do look like, Allen -it do look like the families is united and jinded together." Mr. Bill's thfoat choked up with just enough space left to allow .01 breathing, but of not another word. "Allen," said Miles, when, the visit being over, they were on their way home, "to think of William a-couplin' of my name along with them -lovely boys! Well, Allen, I never expects to git intirely over my molloncholy, but -I tell you, Allen, I were never as nigh of bein' of riaonciled to it.", • Irn.prOering the Landscape. They were straining together in. the moonlight by the water's edge at the foot of the garden. Taking advantage of their fancied seclusion, the young ma,n gently encircled the maiden's waist. with his atm, and, drawing her to him, for the first time in the course of their love partoek of the refreshment which is fabled to surpass in sweetness the most equiSite cranberry jam. The next morning after breakfast her papa took her aside and coldly remarked: "Mary, you were walkingwith Walter last evening ?" "Yes, papa." ' "What Was he doing While you stood so close together at the foot of the walk?" The maiden blushed deeply, but quickly rebovering her presence of mind answered "Papa, you have a right to know. He was only heightening the effect of the Landscape." Location of Stations Along the Cand,da Pacific Railway. The managers of the Canada Pacific Railway have been busy the past few days locating the stations west of Por- tage la Prairie, and with the following results: De Winton is on section 30, township 10, range 14 west, about a mile and a half west of the former station.
